You can use a securely hidden private key mnemonic (12-word, high entropy phrase) on a piece of paper, along with an offline "airgapped" computer, to sign transactions, then transfer the signed transactions to a device with internet access to publish it to the network.
That's probably the most secure method of managing keys yourself, assuming access to physical security. A good approximation of this solution is the use of a hardware wallet, which keeps the private key behind a secure enclave (USB interface, transaction signing occurs within the enclave)
There's no insurance or anything like that, either privately offered or via government regulation. The crypto market is still immature, so I wouldn't be surprised to see protections emerge in the coming decade. In the meantime, there is no equivalent to a bank for crypto assets—the best practice is currently to manage offline wallets oneself. Certainly be careful, though, user error is a big risk!
Dwarf Fortress is definitely a developer game. I love how the game allows you to creatively stand-up industries of scale.
For instance, (shamelessly plugging), the game has minecarts, which transport goods point-to-point, following some track.
To avoid having to lay track for each route separately, I devised a system of logic components that will allow routes to share track, via automated routing:
The routing system uses synchronization primitives to ensure that each shared track segment is only occupied by at most one minecart at a time. Using this guarantee, I have my system switch track exits accordingly, so each minecart in transit gets sent to the right place.
Something that Michael Redmond 9P said a few times during the AlphaGo match was about how there comes a point in any sequence where the next move is of dramatically lower value than the previous.
I participated in the Global Game Jam where I met a bunch of awesome folks, managing to win "Best game made by a group of strangers" at our location! Followed that up with continued development on said game, with the goal of not breaking my personal GitHub contribution streak.
I certainly agree with the author's point about the importance of teaching/caring for others/etc., but I don't think it is a sound argument to say that making is a "male" process, so therefore a society that values making things is a society that undervalues women. Certainly there are two valid things to discuss there, but the conflation of maker value and sexism seems very forced.
It should be pretty neat to see where this goes. I'm particularly curious what it would take to bridge the gap from 4-5 kyu play to dan-level rankings. I believe there are computer go programs that play around 5-dan level (e.g. Zen19D, CrazyStone), using Monte Carlo, of course. Will the techniques in this article be able to scale up to that?

I'm glad to see more projects taking off with the goal of secure email.
I found it really annoying that this service has xkcd style password requirements. My 9-character password with non-alphanumeric characters should be sufficient.
Is there any response from uTorrent about this? Didn't see any posts by any admins or moderators in that thread; I was wondering if they said anything besides just closing the topic?
